Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen
Voices whisper in the trees

Space...would have you! Third encounter from the womb of imagination...The shadow of a glass maybe or...imagination at last roaming the streets at night...A monopod strolling at night with two bare eyes trying to feel the stars...But the ceiling is empty...and the pavement is bright and mysterious like the twilight....Zone is a location which will remain unknown to thee who cannot see...But beware 'cause someone is watching but no one is threatening...

"Shadows are falling and I've been here all day / It's too hot to sleep time is running away / Feel like my soul has turned into steel / I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal / There's not even room enough to be anywhere / It's not dark yet, but it's getting there" (Bob Dylan)
What can I say? Great, Sharon, great! That is as beautiful as can be. I do not only love your story telling but your compositions. A brilliant beauty! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

A very intriguing shot... we loose our landmark, a strange feeling of destabilisation... difficult to explain (especially in english... :-) )

Brr strong shadows we all carry with us, conciously or not. The light on the gound is awesome. Hope you spent a good Halloween (on saturday night in Paris there was a lot of witches in the streets speaking english... scary, funny, nice moment. Not a French tradition, but I like this way to deal with death & fear :)

the stuff i've seen you doing with shadows and reflections in black and white is really amazing. i found myself yesterday enjoying the rain (and i hate the rain) just because of the sights in the puddles. I didn't have my camera on me, but I'm happy to see you're keeping yours at hand.
